THE WOLF PRINCESS

Esther Tears

My whole body was sore. My head felt so heavy, and it was painful. The light from the window was affecting my eyes. To support my eyes, I raised my right hand to cover the direction of the light, wanting my eyes to adjust to the light. I removed my hand slowly as it got better. As I opened my eyes, it was a confirmation that I was still alive. How could this happen? I jumped off the cliff that was so high, how could someone like me survive?

The ceiling looks new to me. I looked around the room, this is not my room, not even my mother's room or any of the rooms in the park house. This place was not even familiar to me.

It was a huge, beautiful room. It looked like a room for rich people or the ones who came from a royal family. There were some flowers and paintings, and the bed was too stunning to be laid on by a useless human.

"Where am I?" I asked myself.

When I got up, I remembered what happened before everything started running into my head. What Liam had told me, and what I heard him say to his friends made my heart ache. I guess the useless human was still alive.

Maybe some good people helped me. I will always be grateful that they are still good in this world, but they did not need to save a weak human like me.

No one would need me, so it was not a good idea to be alive. But the one thing I want to know is…… where am I?

I tried to stand up from the bed but stopped when I heard the sound of the door. A woman came inside the room with two others behind her, she was holding a tray and the other bowed their head as they greeted me.

"Your highness!" She exclaimed as she also bowed her head, three other people came inside the huge room. I gave them a blank look. I didn't know any of them. Are they the ones who helped me?

"Are you okay?" One of the girls with long hair asked me those questions.

I didn't give a response. I did not know how to react. Was this a kind of prank? Did my friend do this to me? But where was Alice? Or my mom, or Henry? This people are not familiar to me, I've never seen them in the pack before. Not even the girl in front of me.

"How do you feel right now, my princess?" the girl asked me again. She had a low voice, but it was cold and looked like beautiful music to my ears. Her eyes have two colors, on the right side, it was blue, and emerald green on the other side. She was pretty and looked like a nice person. Maybe she was the one who healed my wounds.

"Uhmm... may I know who you guys are? Did my friend Alice pay a prank on me again? May I talk to her, please?"

Maybe she did this to make me feel that were some people who loved me. I always told her not to do something that made me feel the way I wanted to. But looking at it now, she did it again, with people I didn't even know.

"We don't know who Alice is. You are here in your palace."

"Am I dead? Was it what my mother told me, that every dead person came? Am I in heaven?" I covered my mouth.

I heard them laughed when I said those words.

"No, darling. This is your palace. You are the lost princess, you got lost in the forest when you wer young ." The lady explained to me everything. But it was not right, my brain was not processing anything they said, I don't understand what they mean. How could a human like me, be a long-lost princess? Was it even possible? These women were not humans; they had the unique eye color of Supreme werewolfs.

"The ancient king will be here sooner. You just need to rest. We brought you food. Just tell us if you need anything and we'll get it for you."

"Wait.. what you said was true?" disbelief was visible in my voice. Even though the lady told it to me over and over, I didn't get it. How could this happen? I was just a useless, pathetic, unloved, and weak human. How could it be possible that when I opened my eyes, I became a princess? A long-lost princess? Was it a dream?

"Yes, princess. What we said was true. Just tell us if you need anything." All of them bowed at me.

My lips parted as I was amazed. How was it possible? I was nobody. Just like what Liam always told me. So, how could nobody become a long-lost princess at this instant?

They left the room, and let me rest for a while. I got back into bed and looked at the ceiling. I tried to slap my face, just to make sure that it was not a dream. I still did not believe what they said. I was not a princess.

I closed my eyes and rested my palm on my face. "Wake up, Esther. All of those were just dreams. Wake up." I told those words to myself. But no... it was not a dream. I was in my reality.

"Princess? How could it be possible? I am just a human. My family just adopted me, but how was it possible that the ancient king lost his child? And claimed that… it was me?"

I don't know how to feel. But I was on my way to accept it and believe what they said.

I got up again from the bed and talked to myself. "A weak human was a long lost daughter of the ancient king." I think I'm running mad in my dream.
